I checked out America's Army when it first came out and never followed up on it. Those graphics look pretty sweet. That game from China looks absolutely awesome. It amazes me that people can get offended when another country has the players attacking US soldiers. Who the fark do they think all of the gamers in the US are symbolically killing? Rocky and Bullwinkle?

Having played Crisis and spending many hours sneaking around an island murdering North Koreans, not to mention Modern Warfare games, etc. I sure as hell can't complain. Also, I'll just throw out that I just started playing Dark Souls and it is awesome and just as hard as people say.

North KoreaFinally, there's those loveable little scamps in North Korea. They have not, to my knowledge, managed to create their own FPS to show off how cool they are. In fact, creating their own anything seems to be an issue, as evidenced in this propaganda video their government put together.

Empty streets to drive on and hawt cops. Makes me feel a little defective. Not sure if in the game you have to stop and pick up wood for fuel.

American 'propaganda' usually comes via 'technical advice' to private game companies when they want to feature american military doctrine and or technology. They make a conscious decision to share specifications and behavior of weapons systems or maneuvers used by actual soldiers, or not share it as the case may be. There isn't a really accurate depiction of the J-SOW in battlefield 3 because the pentagon just felt like sharing, it's there as a big warning to anybody who thinks that a tank battle with the US would be a fun time. They are letting everyone know that it won't be. On the other side of the same coin some room clearing tactics and equipment used by SEALS was redacted from the final cut of the movie 'Act of Valor' because they didn't want to give anybody any ideas on how to properly secure a room. In all honestly I have a hard time being upset about propaganda in such a form. It's not like they are beating the drum for war or dehumanizing 'the enemy', they are just making it known that they are not to be farked with.

I used to work at a Gamestop in San Diego. It was weird selling Socom 2, and guys frim the base would come in and go "oh Gunny Whathisname is on the cover!" I'd have thought they were BS'ing but I heard it from more than a few. Another person was really proud that their helicopter was in the first Modern Warfare. I guess Infinity Ward took pictures, and just copied the serial number from the tail to the game model. The customer showed up later of a picture of himself with the helicopter. It was kinda surreal.

"What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output."

You knew america's army was going to be on that. At least we basically acknowledge it's just a propaganda/recruitment tool. But, I have to give the military credit for that and their DPMS(?) training simulator systems - they are very nice graphically for a "free" tool

Raw_fishFood:Gergesa: I am surprised that the Chinese one did not mention how you automatically unload your pistol clip into Japanese soldiers. We had an article on that once and it seems pretty relevant.

That seems excessive even by Chinese standards.

imagine if the Germans had systematically raped and tortured and massacred american civilians
